With McDermott, you can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good
JohnNord replied to Success's topic in The Stadium Wall
Remember how everyone was saying to fire McDermott after the loss to NE? And how the Bills would’ve luck to finish 8-9? No one overreacts like Bills fans. I agree with what @Bangarangsaid. McDermott will get hired in a second if the Bills moved on. The Pegulas have made some bad decisions but not that bad. -
Many people said this about the team last year

There’s a difference between being a good coordinator and a good head coach. If the Bills were to fire Frazier today, he’d be a DC by the end next week. Given his age, I’m not surprised he can’t get a HC gig. There’s a lot of successful coordinators who can’t. As far as Leslie at DC. I think he’s been good. I also feel that outside of the safeties and Tre, there’s a lack of playmakers on the defense. There isn’t anyone who steps up and makes big time plays like Hyde and Poyer have shown they can do. Ed Oliver and Matt Milano have flashed. Tremaine Edmunds has not The question is, is that players or scheme? We don’t really know.

McDermott isn’t afraid of firing assistants either. Rather than keeping coaches out of loyalty like Chan Gailey or Doug Marrone would do he got rid of underperforming coaches like Rick Dennison, Danny Crossman, and Juan Castillo. Despite the last :13, Frazier has not underperformed. There’s not a doubt in mind that McDermott will move on from Frazier if he feels it’s necessary based on his track record

Cards DC Vance Joseph emerging as a favorite to become the Dolphins HC
JohnNord replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall
He is a terrible HC and not a very good defensive coordinator -
Daboll to Take Dorsey if Named Giants HC?
JohnNord replied to wettlaufer's topic in The Stadium Wall
Do you think the Bills prefer Chad Hall as OC? He seems to be a rising star on the staff -
1/23/22 Week 20 Divisional Playoffs Bills @ Chiefs PREGAME THREAD

1/23/22 Week 20 Divisional Playoffs Bills @ Chiefs PREGAME THREAD
JohnNord replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
Holy crap…I am nervous as hell -
I don’t think this happens in 2022. Only because Vrabel seems to love the way that the offense runs through Derrick Henry. When the running game is rolling Tannehill is actually very good baiting teams with play action. AJ Brown is also coming into his own as a WR. I think they write off the playoff loss and the season to injury and run in back with Tannehill for one more year at least

Divisional round Saturday - 49ers at Packers on FOX
JohnNord replied to stuvian's topic in The Stadium Wall
Does the fact that both underdogs won today reduce the chances that the Bills win tomorrow? Like what are the chances that all road teams win in the playoffs? -
The funny thing is 3 of those games weren’t really that great. 2 were very good. Yet his stats are still excellent

Texans getting closer to hiring Josh McCown as Head Coach
JohnNord replied to Albany,n.y.'s topic in The Stadium Wall
Hiring David Culley was almost as bad of a move. But this hire seems to be legit -
McKenzie should play Tyreek Hill on the regular Bills offense! Not NE. If they spend significant money on a WR, it will for a WR1. McKenzie has untapped potential but I don’t think that’s his ceiling. Ironically his hometown team Miami was interested last season and offered him a deal close to what Buffalo did, which is why he re-signed. I can see them making him a big offer

Divisional Round: Buffalo at KC Sunday at 6:30
JohnNord replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s funny how so many Chiefs fans are trying to convince themselves that the Bills defense isn’t good. Seems to me that they are pretty concerned and looking for a reason to rationalize why the Bills aren’t as good as they really are: To his point…there’s an element of truth there. The Bills were fortunate to play some bad QB’s but they dominated them. -
Post-Beatdown Belichick Locker Room Visit?
JohnNord replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
This right here. I remember listening to the Go Long podcast and Jim Monos said after the Pegulas hired McDermott Belichick called them unsolicited to congratulate them on making a good choice. Also last year when Josh destroyed the Patriot defense in Foxboro, Belichick spent a few extra moments talking to Josh which he rarely does. As you can tell by his press conferences he’s not the more jovial coach who would spend time/energy blowing smoke up your arse, so I’m thinking this was legit admiration -
Not going but I heard plan tickets are ridiculous
-
I agree. The only thing separating Josh from the absolute top top tiers of QB’s (#1-4) is that he needs to be elite on a consistent basis starting this week in the playoffs. While overall his lows are a lot higher in most cases, he’s often been a little inconsistent week-to-week. They said he couldn’t have a better game against Belichick the second time around and he did. Now let’s see him string together 3 more excellent games!

Another accolade for Josh Allen - Best under pressure
JohnNord replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
Most of the PFF’s were forced into admitting they were incorrect on evaluating Josh’s potential. Funny how Josh proved just about everything negative they said about him to be untrue -
Have you ever gotten into a fight over the Bills?
JohnNord replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
As an adult no! LOL But as a kid in elementary/middle school during the Super Bowl runs yes! There always were a handful of kids who just wanted to go against the grain so they cheered against Buffalo. They usually we’re fans of Miami/San Fran/NYG and then of course they jumped on the Washington/Dallas bandwagon. Anyway you’d always hear from them after a bad loss. Fortunately, there were mostly successful throughout the mid-to-late 80’s through the late 90’s. But these kids were relentless after a Super Bowl. To make matters worse, most of us fans wore a lot of Bills gear including a Starter winter jacket. So it was inescapable in school, on the bus, at the mall etc We got into a few scraps back in the day - usually at recess or gym class, which was mostly yelling that escalated into shoving and/or wrestling. Schools were cool back then. No suspensions or even detention. I don’t even think they told parents. The teacher or principal explained how stupid we were for fighting over football, made us shake hands, and then it was over….until next football season anyway 🤣🤣🤣🤣 in retrospect it’s kind of funny Getting ripped on after the Super Bowl losses was always the worst -
